D'Astous brings PP1 upside into road showdown against Colorado
Charle-Edouard D'Astous and the 7–2–0 Tampa Bay Lightning visit Ball Arena tonight to square off against the Colorado Avalanche in what projects to be a higher-scoring environment. Tampa enters the matchup as slight road underdogs against an aggressive Colorado squad that is expected to start Mackenzie Blackwood (unconfirmed) between the pipes. While D'Astous remains heavily sheltered at even strength on Tampa's fourth pairing alongside Conor Geekie and Jeffrey Viel, his primary fantasy value stems from quarterbacking the top power-play unit alongside elite playmakers Nikita Kucherov, Jake Guentzel, and Brayden Point. D'Astous has offered steady deep-league value lately, posting two assists and seven blocked shots across his last five outings.
Our daily projections anticipate D'Astous delivering ~0.5–1.0 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and over a blocked shot, translating to approximately 1.8 fantasy points tonight. Because he is unlikely to score at even strength, his offensive ceiling is almost entirely tied to converting power-play opportunities with the man advantage. Looking at the weekly schedule, Tampa is in the middle of a three-game week and begins a quick road back-to-back tonight, leaving one remaining game tomorrow night in Utah. We project roughly 2.3 fantasy points over the full weekly slate, making him an intriguing specialist in deeper leagues chasing special-teams production. Today’s action: Stream.
